A STRANGE AFFAIR. On Saturday last as John
DeFOREST of Rogers Hollow, in Unadilla, was at work
in a field near a piece of woods a gun went off in the
thicket, and the charge flew past him very near his head.
Supposing it to be from a hunter, Mr. D. changed his
location some twenty rods or more to another part of the
field, and went on with his work. Soon another gun was
fired in the woods, and he was hit in the neck by a bullet
which passed through the aesophagus, cutting it nearly
off, and passing very near the jugular vein, it lodged in the
right shoulder. Mr. DeForest was immediately attended
by Dr. Halsey of Unadilla, who cut the bullet from the
shoulder, and is doing all he can for the sufferer, though
with but little prospect of saving his life. The shots were
made by Gilbert ROGERS, who says he was shooting
squirrels and birds. There has been some difficulty
between these parties, and the case requires a searching
investigation. We learn that Rogers has been arrested,
and was to be examined at Unadilla yesterday, but we
are not advised of the result. Altogether this is a very
strange affair.
8/14/1867 OBITUARY OF DEACON GILBERT. The passing away
of this venerable citizen of Otsego county is appropriately
remembered by the Pastor of the church where he had
been so long a worshipper in the obituary on our first page.
Such models of sterling manhood, unwearied industry,
generous hospitality and steady handed piety, and
patriotism, should be a study for all young men.
OBITUARY highlights: Died at Gilbertsville (Butternuts)
July 13th, Deacon Joseph T. GILBERT in the 85th year of
his age. Born Attleborough, England May 1st, 1783; came
with his parents to America at age of 9 years and at age 16
came to reside in Gilbertsville, where he has continuously
lived for sixty-eight years and where his long life was
brought to a happy close. .. But in his character as a
religious man his friend feels the deepest interest. He has
been a member of the Presbyterian church in Gilbertsville
for 59 years and during this time has sustained an
unblemished character. In his conversion his convictions
of sin were deep and purged, and as a consequence his
views of the way of salvation by the Redeemer were clear
and his whole hope centered in the cross. . Eleven of
his children-of whom there are 13 living, together with many
sons and daughters-in-law, and grand and great grandchildren-
were present at his funeral, and bore tenderly the remains
of their honored father to the grave. Saml. J. White, Pastor.
FATAL KERISESNE ACCIDENT.- On July 29th a
daughter of Lewis HOGABOOM, living at the Summit,
Broome Co., and aged about 14 years, was kindling a
fire for dinner. To facilitate, she took the can of kerosene
oil and poured it upon the wood and in lighting it the can
took fire and exploded, throwing the fire upon her clothing.
She was instantly enveloped in flames and ran out of
doors screaming for help. A man at work in the field at
some distance heard her cries and hastened to her
assistance but before he reached her she was burned in
the most terrible manner the flesh dropping from many
parts of her body. She lived until eight o'clock in the
evening when death put an end to her sufferings. Let this
be another warning against the prevalent practice of using
kerosene for kindling.- Deposit Courier.
OTSEGO COUNTY ITEMS. John DeFOREST, of
Unadilla, who was shot in the singular way we announced
last week, died of his wound on Wednesday last. Gilbert

DEATH OF JACOB FORD. Jacob Ford, formerly of this
town, died at Keokuk, Iowa, August 13th, after a brief
illness, aged 67 years. Mr. Ford came to West Meredith
when quite a young man, cleared up a new farm, and
after residing on it some years went thence to Richfield,
then to that part of Davenport now included in this town,
then to Franklin, to New Jersey and finally to Keokuk,
where death's curtain has fallen before the panorama of a
busy and a very useful life. Wherever he was, improvement
was the order of the day and old things became new, whether
farms, houses or ideas. On several farms he reformed the
soil and the buildings, bringing beauty and order out of
confusion, while into many souls he poured the needed
light of uncompromising and unpopular truths, which came
from a clear head and an honest heart. We first knew him
in 1839, in the heat of those anti-slavery struggles which
shook the country, when but few in this region could be
singular enough to brave the storm and bear the banner
of "immediate emancipation" boldly to the front. Dear to
us forever shall be the memories of the Old Guard in
Delaware and Otsego, who though few in numbers, never
quailed before the hosts of oppression, or for one moment
lowered that glorious flag of liberty for all! Two years ago
we met our friend while on a visit from the West to the
haunts and homes of his earlier life. Worn, weary and
growing old though he was, his eye was still bright for
his heart rejoiced that a mighty struggle had closed, with
truth, principle and freedom in the ascendant, a day which
neither he nor us ever expected to see, save from the
Spirit-land. But now with other victories has come his
triumph over Death, and the quiet peace of Heaven!

9/11/1867 DEATH OF ROBERT PARKER, ESQ. Robert Parker,
Esq., died at his residence in Delhi, on Tuesday morning
last, at the age of 49 years. This sad event was not
unexpected, as for some months his health had been
failing, and for some time his life had been despaired of.
Mr. Parker was all his life, prominently identified with
business and public affairs in this county. Although
holding but few offices, he has always been a prominent
speaker a valuable and influential citizen, he added to
these characteristics an amiable and generous disposition,
and fine social qualities and accomplishments, which
commanded the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens.
Even his failings-which injured himself far more deeply
than others-were such as usually accompany a large, genial,
kindly nature, without a tinge of sordid aims. It would be
hard to find a man in this community whose absence would
be more felt, or whose death more universally regretted.
He was buried on Thursday last, with Masonic honors,
about 150 of the Fraternity, representing eight different
lodges, being in attendance. Del. Rep.
OBITUARY. Many of our readers will learn with deep
regret of the death of John M. HARTWELL, A. M. His
early life was passed in Worcester where his parents
still reside. He pursued his preparatory studies at
Charlotteville and Hartwick Seminary, and graduated at
Union College in 1861. He was afterwards Principal of
the New York Conference Seminary at Charlotteville, and
was a favorite teacher at the Otsego County Teachers'
Institute for which his services were sought for this year,
but his other engagements compelled him to decline. At
the time of his death he was Secretary and Treasurer of
the Empire Marble Company, and Managing Agent of the
Youmans Patent Car Truck Company with his office in
Albany. He died Sept. 4th at South Wilbraham, Mass.,
where he had been making a friendly visit. His remains
were brought home and interred at Charlotteville on the
7th inst. The deceased was alike successful as a teacher
and a man of business, and carried to public and benevolent
enterprises the same zeal and energy which made his
private affairs so prosperous. Mr. Hartwell was 33 years
of age. His untimely death disappoints the high hopes
of a large circle of friends.

DIED
In Anamosa, Iowa, Sept. 29th, of typhoid fever, Mrs.
Lydia S. COOKE, wife of Samuel J. Cooke, Esq., late of
Oneonta, aged 55 years, 11 months and 25 days.
The deceased was born in Lebanon, Madison Co. She
was married at the age of 18 and removed to Otsego
county where, beloved and respected by all, she spent
the main part of her life with the husband of her youth.
They removed to this place some two years ago, that they
might spend the evening of their days near their three
daughters, who live to mourn her loss. From a home of
comfort and love, of which she was an ornament and
grace, she has gone to that home of which the Savior
said "I go to prepare a place for you." For some 15 years
she had been a constant follower of Jesus, and she died
as she had lived in the faith of the gospel of Christ. As a
wife and Christian mother, she was loving and faithful.
Peculiarly truthful, earnest and active, she was beloved
as a neighbor and friend. She was one of the few who
carry the freshness of youth through the duties of years
into the very evening of life, and we believe the benediction
of God rests on her in her departure.
Mary L. ROE, of Franklin, died in Esperance, aged 26.
At the age of fourteen she was converted to God, and
soon after united with the M. E. Church of which she
remained a true and consistent member till death
transferred her to the Church triumphant. Her death,
though sudden, was not altogether unlooked for, as she
had been suffering for several months under a disease
which, in its incipiency, was pronounced incurable by her
physician.- She received the sad announcement with
Christian fortitude, assuring her friends that she was "ready
at any hour." Unconscious in her last moments, she left
no dying testimony. Her life, so fully consecrated to God,
affords sufficient evidence to her friends and Church
associates that her spirit is numbered with the redeemed
before the throne.

Paper Date - YEAR 1868

1/1/1868 OBITUARY.- In Franklin, Dec. 7th, Henrietta, wife of
Rev. J. J. HOUGH, aged 29 years.
On a clear, calm, cloudless Sabbath morning, came the
sad news to the people of her husband's charge, as they
gathered together for their usual services, that she was
dying! Suddenly smitten down, she was passing away
from earthly scenes, unconscious of all around her, of the
anguish of her chosen companion; of the tears and sorrow
of the friends who gathered around her dying bed.
Seldom has the sound of the tolling bell brought such
sadness to the community, as when its solemn notes
carried the sad truth to many waiting, anxious hearts,
that her spirit had passed away from all earthly scenes.
Our Sabbath closed in clouds and storm; in tears and
grief-but for her-oh blessed beginning of the bright Sabbath
above, the tearless rest of Heaven! A devoted wife, a
loving daughter and sister, a sympathizing friend, and
earnest Sabbath School teacher, gentle, lovely, and
accomplished, with a life of love and usefulness, opened
wide before her, she been called thus early away-from the
many hearts-which loved her,-and we tearfully yield her
to a higher love than ours.
Rest thee, dear friend in thy distant grave. Brief was thy
stay among us, but long and lovingly will linger with us,
tender memories of thy gentle goodness. Hushed
forever on earth are the sweet strains of music so often
heard in thy dear companionship-but we sweetly trust,
that in the glad resurrection morning the hands which we
folded to the rest of the grave, will strike the golden harp
above, and the voice so sweetly attuned to hymns below
will swell the notes of everlasting praise, with those who
have most loved thee on earth, in the home above, within
the pearly gates.
John HARRINGTON, an employe of the Vermont Central
Railroad, was run over and killed at the Burlington depot
on Saturday night.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.- Rudolph SAWYER, a well
known brakeman on the night freight of the Albany and
Susquehanna Railroad, was instantly killed on Friday
night last at Central Bridge. It is supposed that in getting
down from the top of a freight car he slipped and fell upon
the tracks between the cars. He was not missed until the
train reached Cobleskill, when on search being made his
body, terribly mangled, was found near the former station.
Sawyer was a native of Switzerland and a kindly, well
deposed man. He leaves a wife and child residing in Albany.

experience in mining on the American river, returned to
this city and united in establishing the hardware business,
in the name of the firm of Huntington, Hammond & Co.
The firm subsequently dissolved, and Hammond opened

was a member of the Sacramento Pioneer Association,

R. R. Co., as book-keeper.

Where now stands the fruitful orchards and cultivated fields,
his manly arm wielded the axe, tottering to the earth the
majestic pines, giving place to civilization where there were
dense forests, haunted by prowling wolves; and in that
spot he sought a home. He ever proved himself a good
citizen, a kind neighbor, upright in all his dealings. His
reasoning faculties were so unimpaired by age, that to the
last, he could well defend the cause of the poor down-
trodded ones. The needy well could say, in him I found a
generous friend. Thus a kindly companion, and a loving
father has passed away. "Yet again we hope to meet him,
When the day of life is passed."

OBITUARY. Died-At Milford, Oct. 4th, of typhoid fever
after an illness of ten days, Francis Allison BARNARD,
eldest son of the late Dea. Moses Barnard, aged 31 years.
This is the sixth death in this family within seven years,
and the third brother within a year-only four children of the
eight, two sons and two daughters, survive.- Mr. F. A.
Barnard united with the Presbyterian Church in this place
at the early age of 16 years, and during the last winter
was zealously engaged in the meetings of the late revival
in the vicinity of his residence, exhibiting a characteristic
interest for the salvation of souls, especially his near
friends, and had the joy of seeing several of of them brought
in the fold of Christ. He was genial in his disposition, and
had been trained in a hospitable home, where the fevours
of a christian friendship enlivened every scene. After the
death of his parents, he purchased the homestead where
he was born and where he rekindled the fires of christian
devotion on the same altar at which his fathers worshipped.
We had hoped that he would have been spared to have
filled the position of his late lamented father in the community,
and in the church where he was a ruling elder for 35 years,
but God has called him to a higher and happier one. He
was a member of the Delaware Literary Institute, between
two and three years, and of the Waterburian Society. He
was married Sept. 30, 1863 to Miss Anna E. Sweet of
Unadilla, who was also a member of the Institute, at the
same time, who is now bereft of a kind husband, the church
of consistent member and the community of a valuable
citizen. Amicus.

11/25/1868 SHOCKING MURDER AT WEST DAVENPORT!
Mrs. E. B. FERO, Killed! The Murderer Escapes with $300
On Monday night, 23d inst., a burgular entered the house
of Elisha B. Fero, Esq., by a false key, and entering the
bedroom was standing at the bedside of Mr. Fero and wife.
He held a revolver at the head of Fero, while searching
for money under his pillow. The latter threw up his hand
and seized the pistol which in the struggle was fired, the
shot taking effect in the head of Mrs. Fero, killing her
instantly. Fero retained his hold of the murderer and was
dragged into the sitting-room where a severe struggle
ensued, of which his person bears the marks. The murderer
escaped, having secured the pocket book of Mr. Fero,
containing about $300, and as yet no trace of him has been
found. There is much excitement in that village over this
cold blooded atrocity, and the people will used every effort
in their power to trace out the murderer and avenge, as
far as the laws can reach, the slaying of a noble woman.
A Coroner's inquest will be held to-day, (Tuesday). The
funeral of Mrs. Fero will be attended on Thursday.
